Powers/Abilities: The Green Skull wields a gun that
shoots Omega Fertilizer, a substance that hyper-stimulates the growth of
plant matter. When fired at a human being, it causes the microscopic
plant matter on their skin to grow uncontrollably, killing them. He
later used the Compost-Mobile, a hovering doomsday device of some sort.
He also wears an armored helmet.

History: (Captain America VII#1 (fb) ) - The
eco-terrorist Green Skull decided that the only way to save the Earth
was to destroy humanity. From his Amazonian eco-fortress, he developed
the Omega Fertilizer, with which he planned to destroy humanity, making
them into fertilizer for plant life. Captain America (Rogers) learned of
his plans, and spent three days fighting through his fortress, but was
too late to stop him from flying to New York on a B-52 bomber loaded
with an Omega Fertilizer bomb.

(Captain America VII#1) - Cap stowed away on the plane,
finally reaching the cockpit as the Green Skull sent it plummeting
towards the city. He burst in and grappled with one of the Skull's
henchmen. The Skull fired his Omega Fertilizer gun, but hit the henchman
instead, killing him. Cap tossed the corpse into the Skull and steered
the plane harmlessly into the river before parachuting out at the last
minute with the Skull in tow. The Skull protested, but Cap punched him
in the face, breaking his hand but mercifully silencing the villain. Cap
handed him over to a beat cop and called in the Avengers to bring him
in.

(Avengers Standoff: Assault on Pleasant Hill Alpha#1) -
The Green Skull attacked New York City with his Compost-Mobile,
intending to kill everyone in the city. As he ranted about carbon
footprints and landfills, Captain America (Wilson) snatched him off his
vehicle and handed him over to the authorities.

Man, I love Rick Remender's throwaway villains.

As you can probably tell from the dialogue, the Green
Skull is not just an eco-terrorist, he's also an evil hippie. The
worst kind of hippie.
